On June 27, in Huntington Park, California, federal agents from Customs and Border Protection (CPB) carried out a violent raid on the home of a working class family while Jenny Ramirez was caring for her two children, aged six and one.

In a scene of militarized terror more typical of a war zone than a residential neighborhood in Los Angeles, agents used an explosive device to blast the front door off its hinges—without warning or announcement—before storming the premises.

Home surveillance footage of the raid shows eight heavily armed agents, guns drawn, storming the home after blowing the door off its hinges. Later in the video, Ramirez and her children are seen being escorted out by the agents.

    Because most places require checks and classes. The myth of walking in and walking out with a gun in ten minutes isn’t real in 90% f the United states.

    Then there’s learning how to shoot it without scaring yourself then there’s actually knowing how to use one under stress

    Now, one would have the learn to be cold blooded enough to want to harm someone

    Those are HIGH barriers to cross, even if one a owns a gun.

    One should always save that for last. Always.
